Provivi

Provivi is a pioneering biotechnology company revolutionizing sustainable pest control in agriculture through its innovative pheromone-based technology. Founded in 2013, the company harnesses the power of insect pheromones, natural chemical compounds used for communication, to disrupt pest mating patterns effectively reducing their population. Provivi's groundbreaking solution lures pests away from their intended partners by releasing synthetic versions of pheromones, causing confusion and ultimately decreasing pest reproduction rates. This approach is highly effective, environmentally friendly, and a game-changer in promoting ecological balance in agriculture.

Provivi's core technology revolves around utilizing insect pheromones to disrupt pest mating patterns sustainably controlling pest infestations. By eliminating the need for harmful chemical pesticides, the company's approach minimizes environmental pollution and preserves biodiversity. Its precision targeting of specific pests ensures minimal impact on beneficial insects and non-target organisms. Additionally, Provivi's technology helps mitigate the development of pesticide-resistant pest populations, ensuring long-term effectiveness.

The company's pheromone-based solutions have demonstrated enhanced crop yields and potentially lower production costs for farmers by reducing reliance on chemical pesticides. Provivi's technology is adaptable to various agricultural environments worldwide, benefiting both smallholder farmers and large-scale commercial operations across diverse crops.

In March 2022, Provivi and Syngenta Crop Protection launched Nelvium, Indonesia's first mating disruption product for rice, helping growers manage key pests more effectively. This marked a significant milestone in Provivi's multi-year collaboration with Syngenta to combat challenges caused by rice stem borers.
